Windows has a few great hotkeys for window arrangement. It is now possible to have those same key combinations on Mac (and much more, actually). Some basic examples from Windows would be…
- Win+Left arrow: Snap to the left half of the screen
- Win+RIght arrow: Snap to the right half of the screen
- Win+Up arrow: Maximize the window
- Win+Down arrow: Minimize/Restore if it’s maximized
To do this, grab a copy of Divvy by Mizage. Once installed, you can set up all types of crazy arrangements. And, to help get you started I’ve created a set of hot keys for you. Just open the text file, from the link below, and paste the contents of the file (the URL) it into the “address” box in Safari (you must use Safari):
You can grab a trial copy of Divvy from Mizage’s web site or buy it from the AppStore. Here’s a link to the product page, just in case:
Enjoy! =)
